Across nearly a thousand years, the Romanesque church of Sainte-Foy of Conques in France calls us to a bygone era of faith and sound. Martyred at thirteen for refusing to renounce her beliefs, Sainte-Foy defied Roman authority and died for her faith, becoming one of medieval Europe’s most powerful saints. In the eleventh century, monks transformed her shrine into a bustling pilgrimage site through architecture, sculpture, and music. This program presents medieval chants from Sainte-Foy’s Festal Liturgy—heard again for the first time in modern performance—accompanied by images of the golden statue that houses her relics.
